Report reveals Police Detectives ignored over 1,000 Sex Crime-Related Calls

[aGameOfThrones]

On Wednesday, a report was released by New Orleans's Inspector General Edouard R. Quatrevaux, which revealed that five detectives of the New Orleans Police Department whose responsibility is to examine the sex crimes failed to investigate over 1,000 calls seeking help and followed only 14% of the cases.

Of the 1,290 sex-crime calls, received by New Orleans Police Department between 2011 and 2013, 840 were designated as 'miscellaneous' and out of 450 calls which made an initial investigative report, 271 of them were not documented further.

"It was a persistent, systemic problem. It was a problem of lack of supervision and management that this could go on for three years and no management or supervision at N.O.P.D. recognized it", said Howard Schwartz, the inspector general's lead investigator.


The report was released in a joint news conference. The superintendent of police, Michael S. Harrison was also present in the conference. He took the charge of the position last month only.

He said that the detectives have been transferred and the Police Department's public integrity bureau is investigating the detectives. The bureau worked with IG's office to prepare the report. He is very much disturbed by the findings of the report, Harrison added.

A review of the cases handled in the special victims section by the detectives will also be conducted.

The report explained the ignorance of victim's charges of sexual assault and discharge of referrals from medical personnel. It also revealed that the detectives used to note down the progression of evidence whereas no proof was found to support that.

What does that ^ mean?

only 14% of the cases.

Of the 1,290 sex-crime calls, received by New Orleans Police Department between 2011 and 2013, 840 were designated as 'miscellaneous' and out of 450 calls which made an initial investigative report, 271 of them were not documented further.

...a little math to get at how many WERE actually investigated:

450-271 =179

Beyond an "initial report" only

179 out of 1290

= 13.87%

"It" would be "the report"

"Progression of evidence" is "we found out this on the 20th, this on the 22nd... then on the 24th we learned...", etc.

"used to" = "in the past"


Gramatically, the sentence is a little weak.

I think they're essentially saying that:

"The report stated, in the past, detectives asserted they would note the progression of evidence. However, the report gave no evidence to support this claim"

also implying:

"Recently, the detectives have definately not been noting the progression of evidence."

So basically filing false reports? Sounds like a crime.

Good luck getting just-us on that one.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect such but was trying to clarify if that is what they were actually saying.

Pity that "Under no specific legal duty to provide protection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_v._District_of_Columbia) and we serve the State" is a little too long to fit on a badge.

They didn't investigate those cases because the perp was probably a cop.

I'm sure the officers felt the stupid mundanes deserved their rape..It's not The officers problem. They are heroes they have bigger issues to deal with, like which donut shop to visit after lunch. I'm glad these officers were simply "transferred" where they can continue to eat donuts and not pay attention to whiney mundanes.

Most of these calls probably involved fellow officers. Cops sexually abusing others is rampant.

...a moment of clarity as to why so many go uninvestigated:
